Just because I was healed by God doesn't mean I can't put someone in their place for complaining about something they agreed to. If sprint just started charging u a fee without ur knowledge then ud have all rights to ***** but the fact is u weighed ur options. Saw that even with ur 10 dollar premium data charge it was cheaper than all other companies and u get to use an evo. So if u want to blame anyone go look in a mirror. I for one am happy with my service and coming from the hero I'd pay 20 bucks extra a month for the speed and badassness that is my evo. And to top it off if I did pay 20 extra I'd still pay less than other services. And to top that I get a 25% discount for working for a company that is in business with sprint. And to top that off I got the free buy back program from best buy so next year wheni upgrade to the next badass phone from sprint bestbuy will be paying me to get a phone from them. So ur right I have no reason to complain about sprint it's service or its fees. Oh yeah and being a customer for 13 years makes me a gold priemer customer and still get yearly upgrades. Guess it pays to be loyal.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
We could if they closed the iPhone section down, thats when these clowns came out. :)

I keed I keed
[EVO 4G General] Gilly11277:
Haha all you chodes pay the $10 fee...but not meeee, and might I add I'm on my Evo 4G using 4G to post this reply. Either way tho its only $10 so pay your damn10 dubloons or GTFO, unless you know how to make the $10 GTFO from you like meh.
[EVO 4G General] Sypris:
I love Sprint, and I don't see myself switching ever, unless they screw up bad. I get service almost everywhere, and if I don't get service, free unlimited roaming! Woot!

The low data rates on 3G and my lack of 4G don't really bother me (I'm a college student so Wi-fi is easily accessible). The extra $10 add-a-line charge is kind of stupid, though. It was $10/phone when I had my Instinct, now it's $20.

Still, pretty happy with Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
You work retentions, right? I hope he gets you on the phone when he calls. Delicious irony :)

The only way it's relevant is if he is on the "I live in my parent's basement or trailer" forum and he bothers you there ;)
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Lol no reason to respond to Rhonda cop... one of the biggest trolls on the evo forums. We still pay 75 less a month with sprint even after the fee. Only one of us had a smart phone before and now all three do... so I think the price speaks for its self.

Blackberry? Seriously? I tried using the browser on that and almost threw the phone in frustration.... I wouldn't use half as much data on that phone.... to much work trying to view web pages.
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
Everyone responding to Honda Cop STOP...for the love of god(s) stop feeding the troll. He is the village idiot of these forums everyone knows that, for some reason the guys feels like its his duty to play devils advocate. There is no use in arguing with someone who can't have an intelligent conversion because they are disgruntled. maybe his life sucks you guys so he has to lash out at others even on a forum.

OT:

I don't see sprint changing to tiered plans anytime soon
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
OT typically means off topic, yet your OT was actually on topic :D
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
He works for Sprint.. now it all makes sense.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
No, they wont. The point of the extra $10 on all smartphones is so they don't have to switch. Sprint also wants to keep things "simple" and not give "options" - have it all or have none, pick, have a good afternoon is kind of how they operate. Free&Clear, Power Pack, all of those are gone for just Talk, Talk and Messaging or all three, no in between.
[EVO 4G General] timmymarsh:
Guys,

THis thread has gone and is going no where, apart from becoming a troll/flame fest.

We also do not appreciate racist comment, on any levels, this will be dealt with separately.

You have an off topic forum, please use it.

I started using LauncherPro and it's like a whole new tablet (I heard ADW works, too). Some things that I love about it (I hold in Landscape always). See screenshot to see what I mean

http://i.imgur.com/kTuHF.jpg

-Full use of screen real estate (I have set to 10 x10 grid). I can now have icons all the way to the edges and top/bottom of screen. No more enforced white space

-Widgets

- First, LauncherPro widgets...I prefer the list view of Bookmarks

- Resizable widgets - an absolute necessity imho. Can even resize things like original bookmark widget, gmail, etc.

- Method of adding - I love the vertical list view of what I'm adding vs. having to scroll horizontally through pages and pages of widgets.

-Dock - I love having my 5 favorite apps on the right side of screen. It feels natural holding the device and choosing with thumb. Still have top/right link to open App Drawer (Wonder if ADW allows for more than 5 icons in your dock)

-Folders - why isn't there folders capabilities in Honeycomb?

-Screen Preview - Being able to click home and see all 5 (or even 7) screens and quickly jump
[Xoom General] dadsterflip:
How did you install launcher pro on it? I would also like to use this.

Thought he was still rewriting it. ?
[Xoom General] keitht:
I own LauncherPro but was hesitant on loading it on Honeycomb. You layout looks real nice. Have you had any force closures?
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Downloaded from his website and side loaded it. Here is the link to the latest version which I used.

http://www.launcherpro.com/apk/LauncherPro-0.8.3.apk

Also go to Settings > Applications > and check "Unknown Sources" to install.
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Just loaded it on this morning and started fiddling with the layout, but so far no force closes.
[Xoom General] dadsterflip:
Sweet. No fc or any? Worst case scenario installing this is just fc it right? Now software dmg or anything? Noob question.
[Xoom General] jm9843:
I'm definitely looking forward to Honeycomb hitting AOSP so that re-sizable widgets/folders/sense-style previews can be added to the stock launcher...
[Xoom General] dadsterflip:
Seems kinda sluggish than the stock one.
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Not sure what you mean by sluggish. Only thing that seemed slow to me was swiping through screens and launching app drawer until tweaked settings.

Preferences > Advanced >

Turned off Elastic Scrolling

Set Min Scrolling Speed to 100

Set App Drawer opening speed to 10

Set Screen Previews to 10
[Xoom General] schnoz:
I love that you are a redditor. I thought you were when i saw the imgur lnk, then i knew for sure when i saw the reddit is fun app. :)
[Xoom General] dadsterflip:
Lol yea that was it'
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Yeah, same screen name on Reddit. I converted over from Digg when the Digg v4 debacle happened and instantly quadrupled the amount of time I waste online once I figured reddit out.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I moved to reddit because of the HD-DVD thing, also the doucheness of Kevin Rose
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
I have been playing with adwlauncher ex myself. Works great and you can resize the stock Widgets the same way.
[Xoom General] Lars1967:
Will my activation code work for the Pro version?
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Yeah, I used my activation code that I used for my Evo and that was how I unlocked widget resizing and LP widgets.
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
Thank you for this! It's been driving me nuts trying to figure out how to use the whole damn screen!! It was those two settings!! :D Now my screen looks and feels great!!
[Xoom General] Lars1967:
10X thanks for this!!!

I love LP Pro but I wanted to give the stock launcher a chance.

SOOOO glad I ditched it.

Resizable widgets FTW!!!
[Xoom General] Lars1967:
Regarding folders, try Apps Organizer in the market. It even allows you to select icons fr your folders!

LOVIN' IT!!!
[Xoom General] Low023:
Reddit is bad, I went there once and got many viruses. lol
[Xoom General] keitht:
How did you get list view for Bookmarks? Is that the Launcherpro widget? I can't seem to change it.
[Xoom General] tlogank:
Reddit is by far the site I spend the most time on. I've loved it for years.
[Xoom General] Low023:
ಠ_ಠ

Know your meme dot com.
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Yup, it's a LauncherPro widget (need full version for LP widgets and resizable widgets but best $2.99 I ever spent...think that's how much it was)
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Forever alone ;)
[Xoom General] keitht:
I have the full version just can't find the setting. I checked under LP Widgets settings for Bookmark widget but don't see an option for that.
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
It's not under settings, it's when you add the LP Bookmark widget itself. After you choose "Bookmark" it says "Choose widget style". Click the arrow 2 times to get to the list view and then choose "select". THen just resize it to your liking.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Can't believe I missed that the entire time I have used it on my phone! lol. Thanks.

It is working well on the Xoom!
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
D'oh! Wrong thread!

Ummm, Can't wait to use this on my XOOM. :D

P.S.

I'll be back here when I get my XOOM on Thursday.
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Only oddity I've seen so far is the Google "Search" widget. No matter where I put it, when I launch it, it'll work, but when I go back to the home screen it shows up in the top left corner, and I can't select it. I then have to click/hold where I originally placed it to remove the widget.

So I just use an application shortcut to it instead of the widget.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Swipe gesture over App Drawer icon shows many more recent apps than Honeycomb option. Wish the icons weren't so spaced out though.
[Xoom General] colbyb25:
I have ADW EX on my Droid X but how do I get it over to my xoom? I can't find the APK. Launcher Pro is ok, but ADW EX is much faster...atleast on my Droid x. I want to try it on the Xoom !
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Nice find. Right now I see 16 previous apps...I don't mind the spacing.

Also forgot about swipe gestures and the fact I can scroll through multiple docks so I have more things easily accessible from my right thumb.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Yep. I am shocked how well this launcher is working on the tablet screen. Can't wait to see a tablet optimized version! I managed to cram everything I care about on one screen :)
[Xoom General] syu78:
I installed LP and was playing around with it. I accidentally chose the xoom launcher as default when I pressed the home button. Now I can't seem to be able to run LP at all. Any ideas of how to get LP to run again?
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Launcher > Clear Defaults (I also Force Stop it).

Then when you click Home button you'll get choice again.

Same way to disable LauncherPro and go back to stock launcher (except choose LauncherPro instead of Launcher)
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Go into settings/applications/all/ find launcher and click it. Scroll down and hit clear default. Hit the home button :)
[Xoom General] syu78:
Thanks! Wasn't thinkiing and was only looking under downloaded under manage applications
[Xoom General] keitht:
The unread message indicator number does not seem to work on Honeycomb which shows how many unread Gmail messages you have. No biggie but something worth mentioning.
[Xoom General] :
Launcher Pro to the rescue yet again!
[Xoom General] keitht:
I decided not to even use more than one screen with LP. Love it.
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
I bet the Honeycomb skin would look even better.

[Xoom General] clovis_ll:
have you tried it on the xoom? it looks good!

i haven't bought the paid version of launcher pro for my evo but now, i will definitely buy it for my xoom!!
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
Loaded fine and it looks great. But i like the way the stock launcher is so ill stick with it. Never thought i would ever say that. Oh and as it has been said on his forum you can use your code on both Xoom and Evo if you wanted. I have asked cause i got a new phone and they sai dyour welcome to use it on all your devices. So i have it on my R2D2 and my Gtab that my GF now has.
[Xoom General] NeutronBomb:
I loaded up 2 pages like that and I had the settings the same way the OP set up and the scrolling from page to page was so choppy I went back to stock. Maybe it was just one of the widgets I had but I don't know. I was using the stock honeycomb ones, Cnn and beautiful widgets plus the lpp widgets.

Don't know why it was so bad. Maybe I'll give it another shot tonight.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Weird. Yeah, try loading one at a time and test to see if one of them is causing the issue. I also set scrolling widgets, 10x10 column rows and those performance tweaks. Since I only have one screen, maybe that is why I am not noticing any lag.
[Xoom General] green94:
Curious as to why? I'm looking to buy LPP tonight so I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into!
[Xoom General] clandest:
Is that beautiful widget? If so how did yyou get the 5 day forcast? I can't seem to find it.
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
I have the performance tweaks mentioned earlier under Advanced

-Min Scrolling speed = 100 (this is the most important one)

-unchecked "Elastic scrolling"

-unchecked "High Quality scrolling"

-and also have the "Keep in Memory" checked under General.

Yes, it's Beautiful Widgets. I'm using 2 widgets, top is Beautiful Smaller Home Weather and underneath that I use Beautiful Weather 4x1 (in which I hide the current weather)
[Xoom General] NeutronBomb:
My droid x is rooted so I just used root explorer and copied the apk file then transferred it over to my xoom.
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
I really like the way 3.0 runs feels great to me. Don't get me wrong I love lpp I couldn't live without it on my phone. I'm sure once the rewrite is done it will be even better.
[Xoom General] i3oomhower:
Is it possible to use the launcher pro plus widgets on the default homesceen? I know I could never figure that out on my droid and probably won't download it on the xoom until I know I can

Thanks!
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
No.

You can't.
[Xoom General] HYPER-X10:
You guys using LPP on the XOOM should try this:

Preferences>Advanced Settings>Memory Usage Settings>Memory Usage Preset>"High"

I do that on my phone and the speed is awesome.

Also for transition effect, I use "Cube". Seems to work the best for me.
[Xoom General] kenhunt:
That a screen shot or a cropped picture? Need to figure out screen shots...
[Xoom General] Lars1967:
Do you guys find that LP jacks up your wallpaper?

Every time I add a new WP, it asks me to crop so I zoom out to the biggest size.

LP blows it up too big and it looks bad but when I go to the original launcher, it looks great.

Any ideas?

TIA
[Xoom General] keitht:
Actual screenshot taken using the Android SDK.
[Xoom General] jumpinj:
I actually like the idea of getting everything on one screen. Will have to install LPP when I get mine tomorrow.

That's one of the things I've always loved about Android. You can get a lot of info just by looking at the home screen, if you set it up correctly.

Love being able to glance at the device and see the time, the date, how many emails unread messages I have, upcoming appointments, and the weather.

Having the screen real estate on the Xoom and the way you set it up with LPP is freakin' awesome. Let's see an iPad 1.5 (or even an iPhone) pull that off.
[Xoom General] m3lover1:
If I understand you correctly, what you need to do is set your columns and rows to 10, that way it looks better on LPP
[Xoom General] Lars1967:
I have mine set to a 10X10 grid. Issue remains.
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
I think its just the way 3.0 handle wallpapers. Just like in the stock launcher you see a small size till u click apps or add widgets then the wallpaper moves up and down. I would try to use the wallpaper templet that is on here and set your wallpaper in the center then leave the out side blank.
[Xoom General] green94:
Many thanks to the OP and everyone in this thread for speaking on the awesomeness that is LPP. Purchased it last night and WOW, what a difference it makes. Scrollable widgets alone makes it worth the $2.99 if not more...also love that you can rearrange the bookmarks to your liking (something I couldn't figure out with the stock app).

2 questions:

1) Can I remove the dock on the right hand side of the screen?

2) Can I set "X" number of days to be pulled in by the Facebook and Twitter widgets?

Thanks again to all.
[Xoom General] forceOnature:
Even after applying the settings mentioned in previous posts for improved framerates, I am still finding LP to be too choppy. I am wondering if the people who are satisfied with LP on the Xoom are seeing no choppiness (as if you had 50+fps) or if they are ok with the choppiness they do have.

For what it's worth, the only orientation in the original launcher where I have smooth scrolling is normal landscape (power port at bottom). All other orientations result in lag and it even affects typing. I am forced to type more slowly just so key strokes are not missed.
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
1) in a way yes you can. set the back ground to blank. Then hold over one of the icons and set it to blank aswell. The dock will still be there but it will show nothing. Thats the best we can do at this point.

2)Go to settings click LP widget settings, click facebook, and set update to manually. Thats what i use and it only updates the widget when you click the update button on the top right corner.

Hope that helps.
[Xoom General] dudeimgeorge:
Meh

not really that good. kinda loses its tablet appeal. Ill leave this on my nexus's as i always have.

i trust honeycomb 3.0 to have some goodies/LP to up it for honeycomb one day.
[Xoom General] green94:
Perfect, I'll give this a shot when I get home tonight.

My question was a little confusing, I guess I'm looking for something that lets me pull in 200 facebook posts or 1000 tweets. Right now it seems limited to a set amount of data that the widget pulls in.
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
That i do not know. I cant seem to see a setting for oh many post are kept. May be somethign to report to him maybe he can add it.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
After installing it on my XOOM, I have to say I really don't like it. It's more sluggish (even with the settings changed) and it feels like a big Galaxy Tab. lol

Here's hoping the LP devs are working on something for Honeycomb.
[Xoom General] bluelt1ss:
where are you guys getting this? the link to the .apk was broken for me and i can't find it in the market
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
You have to move it from your phone. And install with a file manager.
[Xoom General] DocSavag:
I got the apk from the LauncherPro website, saved to my dropbox and installed in from there on my Xoom.
[Xoom General] bluelt1ss:
got it, thanks
[Xoom General] schergr:
Installed, but no shortcut...

Installed, but no shortcut, what am I doing wrong?
[Xoom General] ddyeakley:
Does not install a icon, select the Home icon in the status bar is it should give you a list of installed launchers...
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
I've used LPro on my phone for a long time (presently using ADW EX) and it's awesome but I honestly prefer the Honeycomb stock launcher right now. I'm looking forward to people adding features/functionality to the stock one.

In the end though, this is yet another thing that separates XOOM (and Android tablets) from the competition - customizability. Gotta love it :D
[Xoom General] green94:
Curious as to why you prefer the stock launcher? This is my first Android device and I can't imagine using my Xoom without LPP.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
Using LP on the Xoom reminds Mr too much of an iPad. Using phone software on a tablet. It works but just doesn't feel right. I like the UI and animations of the stock launcher a lot.
[Xoom General] ftgg99:
I disagree with the opening post. For me honeycombs launcher is almost perfect (need loop scrolling, more toggle shortcuts in the quick settings menu).

The fragments implementation is what does it. IMO its a cut above the rest and really shows that google understood the ergonomics of touching a large, high-res, landscape screen.

I would like to tinker with the stock launcher. Its rushed and has some silly flaws that should have been fixed in 3.1, so making a launcher right now would not be wise.

I would like to remove some of the unnecessary elements like trailing shadows and draw the new app drawer as a widget.
[Xoom General] schergr:
Touched the home icon, and nothing...

When I install the from the LauncherPro-0.8.3.apk on my 3.0.1 device, it installs and then I click done on the Android App installer. I then click on the home button, but get nothing unusual. I just get the default home button behavior. Must I do something else?

Does my device need to be rooted?
[Xoom General] green94:
Interesting... I'm coming from an iPhone (the reason I didn't get an iPad) and actually appreciate the widgets and overall feel of LPP.

Widgets on stock Honeycomb (Twitter in particular) are completely useless if they aren't scrollable and only show one at a time. I guess that was my biggest complaint with the stock launcher.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
That'd because scrollable Widgets weren't possible prior to Honeycomb so only other launchers had them. Now that Honeycomb stock supports them we should see more hopefully that do that.
[Xoom General] dlsolo:
Not sure if it was addressed but has anyone found the system to function smoother? I'm gonna give this a shot in the morning, but curious if the periodic refresh/redraw situation has been eliminated. I figured the redraw could be linked to the launcher.

Thanks for the insight and heads up.
[Xoom General] papapena25:
The link for launcher pro is down. can you post another one?
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
Hello Everyone,

If you are uncertain if the $2.99 isn't worth it for this app or if you don't have a honeycomb tablet yet and you want to see how it looks check out my video overview of the paid version of LauncherPro

[Xoom General] chrisnathan1983:
I use LPP on my nexus one and have it installed on my xoom. While I really appreciate the Widgets and customized experience of lpp, I really miss the app drawer from stock. Is there any way I can use the stock drawer with lpp?
[Xoom General] wasya152:
What news widget is that
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Looks to be the CNN news widget.

I'd watch it though, from what I've seen and others have confirmed is that entering the CNN app from the CNN widget causes the Xoom to stay awake 100% of the time, even when the screen is off.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
Yes the latest CNN app launches an analytic service whenever you either launch a story or video from the widget or you click on a story in the app while logged in. If you're in the app and not logged in you are fine.
[Xoom General] MikeyMike01:
The whole damn Xoom is sluggish.
[Xoom General] stlsaint:
Need to remove but can't find how to. Any help please?
[Xoom General] p2flol:
Stock is horrible very sluggish, LP is not that much faster, at least for me. ADW is suppppppper fast. VERY smooth. I don't know why LP is slow compared to ADW on my xoom.
[Xoom General] PensFan66:
You have to go settings -> applications -> Manage Applications -> Find Launcherpro in the list, and select it - then you will see an uninstall option
[Xoom General] PensFan66:
I like Launcherpro, but can I make the Icons larger? Not widgets, but just the simple icons, or even a Folder Icon?
[Xoom General] patass:
I second the ADW comment. Wow it's fast. It makes it feel like more of a phone though. I think I might stick with the honeycomb home screen...
[Xoom General] keitht:
The only thing that stops me from using any other launcher including the stock one is the FB/Twitter Launcher pro widgets. If anyone knows if these exist (same style/black/transparent) somewhere else or if these can be made to work with other launchers, I would be grateful.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
I am really enjoying Ginger Blur on my Droid X and wish I had some of the functionality on my Xoom. I think they really got it right this time!
